I hate having an average IQ

Post Reply New Topic

there is no; one IQ test,the one devilkisses was probably talking about was the popular WAIS iq test,the WAIS tests both verbal IQ and performance IQ.
have also had the WAIS redone as a routine test whilst sectioned at a intelectual disability hospital and mine was equaly low in both VIQ and PIQ,a normal pattern for people with ID.

one thing that find very difficult to understand with people who have near enough average IQs or above is their feelings of being limited and 'stupid' and mentaly slow,although do understand we will be experiencing life differently.
those of us with ID do not feel these limitations and will aim for what we want,we arent mentaly slow we just have very different mental capacities to the norm.
our intelectual disability doesnt stop us from doing anything we want,it might take us longer due to needing clearer explanation and the legal crap from being covered by the mental capacity act but it doesnt make us think we are limited,we completely lack the social boundaries and comparison abilities to recognise it.

mainstream society has got so obsessed with inteligence that people with regular IQs think theyre inferior if they dont match the standards and their peers,but we are all inteligent in our own way,screw what society says.

Do "they", whomever "they" are, have the sort of IQ test were you have a whole page of numbers and you are supposed to determine if they are divisible by three, and then on another page , divisible by four? I could fly thru those things. Before they taught the trick in school, I read some where about the trick of just adding up the digits for 3 or 9. Then I figured out, you can just skip over any 9's, and if you can see two number that add up to 9, you can ignore them.

So 999999999999999999999999999936999999999999999999994, it not divisible by 3 or 9. (Ignore all the 9's, 3+6 = 9, ignore them, you are left with 4).

Then for divisible by 4, just chop off the all but the last two digits, then keep subtracting off 20, then look what you have left.

4774892317489237489327489032748910256, just look at the 56, you can take away 40, leave 16, so yeah it is divisible by 4.

A high (or low, or average even) IQ does not make you a better or worse person. Also they can vary greatly even from test to test. I was tested officially through MENSA, and I scored at the 96th percentile on the culture fair test (a test that has no words, it's just a pure logic test consisting of shape puzzles etc.) but only scored at the 80th percentile on the other test. There was a lot of noise which was distracting me but still it shows the great variance that occurs between tests.
